Our report dated November 21, 2005, on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of August 27, 2005, expresses our opinion that Entegris, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 27, 2005 because of the effect of a material weakness on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria and contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company did not have effective policies and procedures, or personnel with sufficient knowledge of accounting for compensation-related matters in purchase accounting transactions, to ensure that such transactions were accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Entegris, Inc. also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Mykrolis Corporation.
